Twitter traffic is 'tanking' as Meta's Threads hits 100 million users
cnbc.com

Meta's new text-based social app Threads has quickly gained 100 million users since launching last week, which appears to be negatively impacting traffic on Twitter. According to web analytics, Twitter traffic declined 5-11% over the first two days Threads was available compared to the previous week. Threads was able to grow rapidly by allowing users to sign up with their existing Instagram accounts and bring over some of their followers. However, Threads has not yet launched in Europe due to regulatory issues. The fast growth of Threads may solidify its position as a real competitor to Twitter, which has over 238 million daily active users.

While ranking the misdeeds of billionaires is a tricky business, given the choice I'd say Zuck is slightly better than Musk at the moment. :)

No need to limit yourself to those two awful options when good alternatives exist which aren't run by either of them.

Hard disagree there. Facebook contributed to literal genocide. Elon is just an asshole.

Yeah well. Children are dying every day in cobalt mines because we need minerals for EV batteries

Yes, but unlike Elon's claim, he did not actually invent the electric car. He wasn't even the founder of Tesla. It was going to happen with or without him.

Could I play it safe and fire them both into the sun?

The guy that sold Bannon the user data he wanted under the table?
